79 County Road, the Kinsman house (1820)

The large house at 79 County Road sits out of view behind the old brick telephone building, abutting the far end of the Old South Cemetery. The house was built in approximately 1820. Wide corner boards, a gently sloping roof and evenly spaced chimneys also suggest the Federal era construction period.

This house was moved back on the lot when the Verizon telephone company building was constructed many years ago.
